Welcome to SUMS!
Suntree United Methodist School has been proudly serving our community and meeting the needs of the whole child for over 30 years. The children within our school will be respected and loved while in our care. Each child will have the opportunity to build positive learning experiences, grow in self-concept and self-esteem, gain abilities in problem solving and working collaboratively, and so much more. Together as a school family we live as lifelong learners, growing together spiritually, socially, emotionally, academically, and physically.
Suntree United Methodist School Partners in Education Program
As the old African proverb says, "It takes a village to raise a child." One could imagine then that it would take a community to raise a school. There is a need to work as a community to nurture our schools for our particular community needs. I believe the answer to real education/school transformation is strong, authentic community connections and actions. When families, community groups, businesses and schools band together to support learning, young people achieve more in school, stay in school longer, and enjoy the experience more.
The Suntree United Methodist School has been an important part of the community for 28 years. In an effort to continue to grow and enrich the lives of our community we have developed the Suntree United Methodist School Partners in Education Program. This is an initiative that allows businesses, community organizations, and individuals to support high quality education in our community.
The partnerships are dynamic, innovative, mutually beneficial, and contribute significantly to educating students and preparing them to be successful lifelong learners. Becoming a Partner in Education is an opportunity for the academic and business community to unite in a way that enhances the learning environment for students. Resources offered by businesses and community organizations (volunteers, funding, equipment, materials, and assistance with special needs) positively impact student achievement and enrich the lives of all involved.
